Beer drinkers unite against terrorism

Internet users from all over the world have united to buy John Smeaton a 1,000 pints of beer.

Beer The baggage handler was elevated to hero status over the weekend when he assisted in subduing the terrorist who tried to squeeze their oversized SUV into a small door of Glasgow airport.

How could we reward this man that has a clear message to any terrorist who can make sense of his Scottish accent? Internet users from around the world figured 1,000 pints would be a good start. The £3.00 ($6) Paypal donations soon started streaming in, with a little help from Digg.

But could that just be another terrorist plot. With Smeaton stuck in the bar for the next few years, he won't be able to stop many future terrorist attacks.
